You probably don’t know who the “Moorish” Muslims are. But they are dangerous–terrorists, drug dealers, and assorted other bad apples populate this radical Muslim group that gave birth to the Nation of Islam. And while they live on American soil, they claim they aren’t subject to American law. That was an excuse tried by one of the religion’s adherents when he was convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

The Sunni Muslim sect has been in the news of late because of a trial for three major drug dealers and a divorce case involving a famous athlete. But Islam is never mentioned in the news reports, nor is the dangerous nature of this brand of Islam, like most others. Recently, former pro athlete Deion Sanders’ ex-wife, Pilar, filed papers in court stating that she’s a “Moorish National Aboriginal” and, therefore, not subject to a divorce decree cutting her off from hubby Deion’s millions. But she’s not the only one. And her newly-declared Muslim religion is dangerous.

The Moorish Science Temple a/k/a the Al-Murakush Society [DS: “Al-Murakush” means “the Morrocan”] was founded in the early 1900s by Timothy Drew a/k/a Drew Ali, a Black man who claimed he was the son of a Moroccan Muslim and a Cherokee Indian (he also said he was the son of two former slaves and was adopted and raised by Cherokees). Elijah Poole-Bey a/k/a Elijah Muhammad was a member of the Moorish Science Temple before he founded the Nation of Islam. Members of this group say they are not U.S. citizens and not subject to U.S. law because of their membership in this Islamic sect. And, while the religion’s late founder and its adherents might sound crazy to you, they are actually very deadly serious people who work with other Muslims to foment Islamic terrorism against Americans.

Clement Rodney Hampton-El a/k/a Abdul Rashid Abdullah, a Moorish Muslim, was convicted in the 1993 Al-Qaeda bombing of the World Trade Center. He was a follower and friend of the “Blind Sheikh,” convicted terrorist Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman. And Hampton-El was trained in jihad by Ali Mohamed, the CIA/Al-Qaeda double agent.

Moorish Passport & Citizenship Card

Hampton-El was the only American-born Muslim involved in the ’93 WTC plot and assisted the bombers in testing the explosives. He was also involved in Al-Fuqra, a secretive Black Muslim sect (related to the Moorish Scientists) that vows to conduct jihad against American from within. It is headed by a non-Black Pakistani Sheikh (who regularly met with HAMAS and Islamic Jihad terrorists), and Al-Fuqra members plotted to blow up federal buildings, the United Nations, and other significant locations in New York. Hampton-El was to be the explosives provider in that plot, too.

Hampton-El’s parents were considered pioneers in the Moorish Muslim movement. And Hampton-El went on to become a Mujahid in the Afghan-Soviet conflict, fighting–of course–for the Afghans. He also said he was paid tens of thousands of dollars by the Saudi Embassy in the United States to convert U.S. soldiers to Islam and train them to become fighters for jihad in Bosnia. In 1995, Hampton-El was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

And in addition to Deion Sanders’ ex, the Moorish Science Temple is in the news for another reason. Three convicted drug kingpins in Detroit are members of the Moorish Science Temple (although the group denies it), and the men wore fezzes–the traditional garb worn by the Moorish Scentist males–to their trial in federal court. The men, Eric Powell, Carlos Powell, and Earnest Proge, filed a document in court on Moorish Science Temple letterhead, saying they were not subject to U.S. law because of their membership in the Islamic sect. On the recent day that they learned the jury had reached a verdict (guilty!), they did not show up in court and had fled. All three were found and captured, and yesterday, one of them appeared in court.

Franklin resident Eric Powell, 36, made his first public appearance since being arrested June 4 near Atlanta, Ga., following a nationwide manhunt led by the U.S. Marshals Service. He arrived at the Wayne County Jail on Monday and is being held without bond until he is sentenced Sept. 5 in the drug case. Powell, who faces up to life in prison and a $10 million fine, said nothing during the brief court hearing . . . .

Powell was a key member of one of the most prolific drug rings in Metro Detroit history. The ring was headed by his brother, Washington Township resident Carlos Powell, 39. His operation generated tens of millions of dollars and was responsible for importing hundreds of kilograms of heroin and cocaine, and thousands of pounds of marijuana from Mexico, prosecutors said. During a year-long investigation headed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, agents seized 66 pounds of heroin, 12 kilograms of cocaine, 1,000 pounds of marijuana and more than $21 million in cash.

Carlos Powell’s drug ring allegedly laundered profits and purchased $800,000 worth of jewelry, real estate in Michigan and Georgia and luxury vehicles, including two Bentleys, a Ferrari, a Rolls Royce and boats. Most have been seized.

Like I said, the Moorish Scientists are not to be ignored. They are dangerous Muslims who have no regard for American law or American lives.

Just ask Clement Rodney Hampton-El. And the thousands he tried to murder in two different Islamic terrorist plots against America.

Deion Sanders’ ex shouldn’t take associating with these people lightly.

On another article that Debbie had written I was arguing that Black Muslims don’t participate in terrorism, as Arabs do. This article does refute that, I admit.

I had forgotten about the Moorish Science Temple folks. Yes they are White people haters. Most are criminals. I had a distant uncle who was Noble Drew Ali pansy. He’s doing 50 yrs for Bank Robbery, I believe. Yep, good ol Moorish Science Temple.

Moorish Science Temple gave birth to NOI and all its branches, i.e 5%, Ansars El Muhammads, Gods and Earths, and on and on and on. There’s another one in Florida, not the Hebrew Israelites, but another one, I can’t remember the name, they gave me a book on in college one day. There are many. I’ve forgotten most of this stuff, but every now and then Debbie posts something that makes me go “Oh yeah, I remember them” lol

Yup. Let’s keep in mind other Muslims would consider them heretics cuz they have nice things to say about Christianity and Buddhism.

That said, they’re as extreme as the rest of them and while Muslims can and do hate and slaughter each other with abandon, they all hate us and want to kill us.

But we’re told ad nauseum Islam is the Religion Of Peace. Debbie’s profile of these Muslim nutjobs shows in reality they’re anything but peaceful. America’s denial of the problem means we’ll be facing more Islamic jihad in the future.

Very informative and worth paying attention to as Debbie ratified in this article and backing up sources to verify where she’s precisely coming from with this specific sect of Islam.

They do sound whacky, if not, dangerous as DS illustrated, and my question to the Moorish-Muslims is this, if you guys are allegedly living in the US, using the US dollar to support yourselves financially, and don’t ascribe to US laws 101, but to the Islamic faith, then WTF are you folks here in the first place?

Shouldn’t this Muslim group be working and operating in places such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Gaza, etc. where they’ll feel comfortable and accustomed to?

The MSTA is a shadow of its former self. Within the Bureau of Prisons they went from a sizable group in the 1980’s to an insignificant group in almost every way today. Their west coast operations have collaped. The furthest west they have a temple is in Kansas City, and they lack the money to keep it going. Their three epicenters of power today are Detroit, Washington, DC, and Atlanta….BUT their has been a schism. Atlanta is operating seperatly from the Northern folk. Atlanta is actually the most thriving branch. They wear a black Fez. There have been reported killings between the old MSTA and the “new” Atlanta based operation.

Middle Eastern Jews used to wear fezzes. They also used to war keffiyas until the First Intifada. They actually originted as the center of a turban, which is the same basis as that of a kippa but were often worn alone when the cloth was not needed.

Black moors? Joke’s on them–the most famous of the Umayyad Caliphs of Spain, who consolidated control over central and northeastern Spain while reducing the Christian principalities of northwestern Spain to vassalage, was a natural blue-eyed blonde. A natural blue-eyed blond. Yeah, sure, the Moors were black…whatever…I mean, maybe the Almoravids and Almohads were black-ish…but what did they accomplish aside from slaughter? The Umayyads, at least, combined slaughter with a somewhat stable administration and revenue regime. Gotta give the f*ckers that…but I digress.

Besides that, the claim that they are aboriginal is highly insulting to those of actual native ancestry in the US. Moreover, these career criminal cultists are “heretics”, liable to be decapitated en masse if more orthodox Islamic sects ever gain power.

Moorish programs still pop up on Chicago Access Channels, the open highway for anti-US propaganda; this way big businesses can support really subversive programming without getting too much flack!
They are somewhat old fashioned with the “fez,” use of which pretty much faded away in many moslem countries. Too strong an association with the Ottomans I guess.
Did not realize they have their own (invalid) passports and consider themselves above US law, something like our islamo-marxist regime officials. Even more strange is the Cherokee link — maybe Cherokee Liz Warren is a member here?
Newly formed pseudo-religious groups generally have to create a link with older established religions or sects.

For the record, I am a Moorish American Moslem. While there may be radical moors as with ANY group of people, the majority of moors in America/Al’Moroc/Northwest Amexem live by Love, Peace, Truth, Freedom and Justice. I personally am not a criminal and do not agree with criminal activity by moors. It is a mistake to group an entire people under the activities of the few.

This article is bogus , Noble Drew Ali did not start Al-Murakush Society , and if you so smart and educated people could read, it clearly states on the bottom of the nationality card that we are citizens of the USA, but the “author” is not credited giving out false information

I would encourage the author of this article to do a bit more research. You just as countless other journalist have attempted to paint Islam with a broad brush. As a Grand Sheik in the true organization founded by Noble Drew Ali, which is the Moorish Science Temple of America, I find your article insulting. First let’s be clear, these individuals in your article were not members of a true Temple. There are many off shoots of the original organization some of which have adopted their own ideology. We are not anti American. In fact if one were to attend a Temple he would see the American flag on display during meetings. We do not promote racial hate, our organization is founded on five principles the first being love. If we were to condem an entire group based on the actions of a few we would have to label Christianity a terrorist group. Were not the KKK Southern Baptist? Does this mean every southern Baptist is racist and applauds the actions of the Klan? That would be an absurd assumption to make. I encourage you in the future to better research and study when attempting to shed light on certain topics because you have proven your journalism skills to be less than subpart.

Unfortunately , many people do not want the truth , they want their ” preferred, reality “, whatever that might be . Some want to hate , are full of hate and the facts never get in the way . It is a sad weakness in some human beings that their self esteem requires the daily belittling , slandering and hatred of others . Freedom is an awesome privilege with an even greater responsibility attached to it . At least in the U.S.A. we are free to rise above those infected with the terminal disease of hatred . God Keep Blessing America , PLEASE !

My name is Michael Cristini and I did 13 years in prison for a crime I did not commit I’m white and I believe in the bible as followers of Christ. I have read the Koran and I believe in the Koran as a holy book by outsiders who did not get a chance to hear the words spoken by Jesus. I also worked in the prison library as a law clerk in Macomb Regional facility. Whil there for 5 years I befriended a lot of inmates including the grand shiek in the M.D.O.C. at the time Turner-Bey as well as others such as Turner-El for example I did alot of moon lighting to make extra money in prison by typing things for other inmates. I typed the Temples acquisition forms for Turner-Bey once a month for years. Turner-Bey handed me a folder with the printed monthly form and accidentally inside the folder was a copy of their by-laws In there is if I remember correctly were six principles basically for being a stand up man who carries himself with pride and dignity.The temple does not support a member who engages in illicit activities.Suffice to say don’t condemn a church if a few members of the congregation are bank robbers!

False information. But I’m pretty sure thats they intentions to lead people away from al Islam. And Whatever these guys did wrong.they did it not islam not the moorish science temple or the moors not the Muslims or Moslem.These men don’t represent or speak for all moors. And actually if some of the things that you stating is true, these men broke Islamic Law.
The disbeliever Try to put the light of Allah out with they mouth , but will never be successful . And Allah will perfect us with his light. Love is our weapon.
Our Nation will Raise , and help all of Mankind.
Salaam.
